Burgundy & Blush

This time, I created both a bouquet and a floral arrangement in a vase, using chicken wire to help keep the flowers in place.

The main stars were deep burgundy dahlias paired with soft pastel pink carnations. Freesias added a delicate touch of softness, while skimmia and astilbe brought in some lovely texture and variety.

Note to myself: while dahlias are absolutely gorgeous flowers, they might not be the most beginner-friendly choice! Beautiful to look at, but definitely a little more challenging to work with.
